Must be something in the way it handles the paths or WHY?

I've attached a screen print of the batch queue manager for your delectation.
OK, if you don't already use KDE this means you have to add the KDE base & support libs to get this to work but it doesn't mean you have to use the rest of KDE. TBH I'd be amazed if there wasn't a native Gnome or other tool that didn't do this.
Of course if you don't mind command line stuff there's always the ImageMagick suite which will do everything you ever wanted to do (and is probably what I would use if doing simple batch editing of a load of graphics files)

See here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=466598) also for more details.
It will add watermarks and resize etc in batch mode.
Edit:- it is in my repos so maybe in yours as well, just search for phatch.

Quote Nope I just tried that, also even dropping an image on the ivew icon doesn't open the image.

Ok, well it's strange!!
I installed IrfanView 4.27 and created the script file( irfanview.sh) . I then renamed a .jpg to .jpp and right clicked , selected open with and browsed to irfanview.sh and it opened it in irfanview. Subsequent double-clicks on .jpp opened in Photospot. So I then went to the .jpp file right clicked selected properties, 'open with' tab and now selected irfanview.sh from the list.
Double-clicking now works fine , it opens in irfanview
NB this is on Ubuntu NBR 9.04.

Not sure if it is new in 10.04/Mint 9 but you can select the default viewer now from the properties page. So you can easily change what you want to open if it has gotten screwed up/changed.

I only used .jpp as a test so that it wouldnt change the defaults for .jpg , but I think it was too clever for me since it spotted that my .jpp was a jpeg file and changed the default anyway. BUt I could change it back with 'properties' anyway

#!/bin/sh
IRFANVIEW="C:\\Program Files\Irfanview\i_view32.exe"
ROOT_DRIVE="Z:\\"
for arg
do
wine "$IRFANVIEW" "${ROOT_DRIVE}$(echo "$arg" | sed 's/\//\\/g')"
done
Strange but there you go, changes all the /'s to \'s for M$ compatibility.

managed to get it working by using HB`s script above.... however, it doesn`t open on double clicking the file name.... I have to use "Open With" and the irfan.sh.... which will do for now... at least I can open the first pic file in a folder, and then browse through the contents until I come to the one I need...
Thank you everybody for you help and advice, and patience...
My next prog to get working is FastImageResizer.... I`m hoping I can do that using a similar script (change the location)... not sure if it may need some odd windows files (like the MFC32.dll for irfanview)...
It is downloaded and installed, and the icon is on the desktop, (exec permission granted !).... but it hasn`t worked .....YET ! !
OH.... how do I get my windows firefox "Reminderfox" entries onto my Mint firefox "Reminderfox" ?
(at the bottom of this screen I have a recycle circle icon with "Disabled (Private Browsing) showing.... how do I enable it again... - I am assuming that has something to do with it.....!

Re not opening with double click it should, look at the properties page, under open with, and change to the script and it should now open.

Yup !. have got that phatch prog on the listings.... haven`t tried it yet..... but it seems to do the things I want to do with Irfanview... (have spent all my time getting Irfanview working ...! ! ) so will have a play with it later this week...
Ok. will re look at "open with"...

This morning, I wanted to refer back to an email I had received before installing the HDD with Mint 9 on , in my laptop, so I shut down and removed it, and then put in the original HDD with Vista and the emails on ... wouldn`t boot up.... ! got a message saying that a file was corrupt, and that I had to insert my windows cd and do a repair.... which didn`t repair, so I had to unload all my pics and docs etc from that hdd onto two others, so I could do a complete windows re-install.... It is now 17.30 and I still haven`t done the email.... I have probably lost it in the re-install as I don`t remember saving the relevant bit in the users. folder.. I may have done... will have to find out later...
anyway, I am now going to do a re-install of Mint9 on this hdd and use it as dual boot, again, until I transfer all the pics and docs back again!... then I will wipe the biggest HDD and do a Mint 9 only hdd ...just for fun.! ! ! !...
Not saying the Mint 9 had anything to do with the failure.... in fact, I used Ubuntu 9 live cd, to check the disc before I did the re-install, and it reported no errors, so really don`t know how it got corrupted.... the file in question was bat.sys.... why Microsoft, can`t just do a simple "overwrite and repair" I don`t know.... can`t be "that " difficult ,........ can it? ? ?

Quote Not saying the Mint 9 had anything to do with the failure.
That right blame a perfectly innocent OS on the failure of the other one
If you install Mint side by side, it will COPY the stuff in your document folder etc, (I forgot about this as I don't use it this way) so that is why the other day you couldn't find that file, it was on a different drive! BUT it doesn't usually write to your win drive unless you tell it to ... did you?
I would suggest you buy some 2.5" hdd caddies they are much easier than swapping hdd's all the time, and using Mint you could have read the files from the other hdd. Unless of course it is inside a pst ... Although I think thunderbird will open them as well ..
BTW last time I installed XP (in a VM) it took several hours and that was a clean install, I wouldn't wait up for it unless you REALLY need that file...

Problem I have now .... I have two copies of Mint 9 on this HDD with Vista.... cos I thought it would format the whole drive and wipe Mint when I did the re-install, and when windows Vista booted up , it did not show the grub loader page.... so I assumed it wasn`t there ! ! ...
any advice on how to destroy the two copies of Mint so I can do a re-install with only one partition for it and one for vista?
